Also, if you have some money to spare and only few bases, try to build your new ones in countries whose funding has been decreasing in the past months.
Setting up a base there will increase your chances of spotting alien activity there, and maybe you'll be able to keep that country on your side.

well, it isnt so that i never done anything in america.
the month before they "left" they´ve even encreased their money.
i also send often fighters to patrol but i just didn´t catch anything (well, not too much because the fighters ran out of fuel too soon.)
and now i´ve build a base in america (about five days before the month had ended) and they´re still pissed^^.

the money isn´t actually the problem, i even have too much of it^^.

looks like the aliens are now going for russia. well....i won´t let them

so, still one question left^^: it is now august and there wans´t a terror site for months (perhaps because i took down some of these "terror" ships?) and my base hasn´t (none of my four bases) been attacked unil now, is that normal?

[another_guest]

Taking down terror ships will indeed decrease the chances of having any terror sites.

Don't worry that your bases haven't been attacked, in your case I'd be glad

Speaking of manufacturing, Alien alloys are the next best thing to laser cannons and medkits to produce, and besides...you need them to produce other things, so why not make a lot and sell when you have a large amount

Because you get too much from UFO's.

Who needs cash from countries when you dont pay your scientists and engineers :bleh: .

Im pretty sure countries leave if thier pissed with you, regardless of Infiltration Ships or not, either that or Infilitration ships dont solely garuntee that the country they land in stops paying you.

What annoys me now however is the incompetance of X-Com Soldiers. You would think they would be able to fire over a person who is ducking, but nooooooo they have to be difficult and kill the person instead.

However aliens are also equally incompetant. One of my soldiers was saved by a snakeman as he killed a chyrsalid who was just about to attack my soon to be a zombie-soldier. I thanked him by only stunning him. Also a chyrsalid decided to weave inbetween 3 of my soldiers and hide underneath the skyranger, he was promtly exploded.

Also apart from my starting initial base i like getting my bases attacked. So much more easier when you have the home advantage and know where the aliens are instead of vice-versa.

Best thing to produce apparently are fusion launchers, however you need a fair amount of capital to start making money quick soon.

The best fun is when you shot auto-shot with first shot kill alien you aimed to, and with other two shots kill another alien in darkness.Happened once to me,I must have my lucky socks or something LOL
Another thing I like is when your soldier(with 80 accuracy) has full TU and DONT hit chrysalidis standing RIGHT BEFORE him with his 2 autoshots

i once killed three of my crew with an autoshot.. that was really funny...i changed my basic formation/strategy after that duh. Now I only send in one man at a time.

[Lizard]

Yeah.One time I was in storm formation(all soldiers covering themselfes) and last one gone berseker and amazingly he hit almost with every shot one of my troopers.But that dont bothers me much.I play a challenge, and you wont get there very fast without realizing that everyone is EXPENDABLE :twisted:

[dunkellic]

heh, just played a mission.
before i´ve even had left the skyranger four aliens were already dead

looks like im going to mars soon, just have to build the avenger.

funny things in x-com: once there was a chrysaild. he was about five steps away from my soldier (who has missed als his shots...) but instead of attacking the chrysalid goes three steps towards the soldier, turns around walks away and then decides that attacking would be probably better than running away, tooo bad his TU didn´t last to get to my solider :twisted:
